Coverage Ratio (such four full fiscal quarter period being referred to herein as
the "PRIOR QUARTERS") to the aggregate amount of Consolidated Fixed Net Charges
of such Person for the Prior Quarters. In addition to and without limitation of
the foregoing, for purposes of this definition, "CONSOLIDATED EBITDA" and
"CONSOLIDATED FIXED NET CHARGES" shall be calculated after giving effect on a
pro forma basis for the period of such calculation to, without duplication, (a)
the incurrence of any Indebtedness of such Person or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries (and the application of the net proceeds thereof) during the period
commencing on the first day of the Prior Quarters to and including the
Transaction Date (the "REFERENCE PERIOD"), including, without limitation, the

Indebtedness actually incurred on the Transaction Date may optionally be
determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime, LIBOR, or similar

rate in effect on the Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect
during the Reference Period. If such Person or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries directly or indirectly guarantees Indebtedness of a third Person,
the above clause shall give effect to the incurrence of such guaranteed
Indebtedness as if such Person or such Restricted Subsidiary had directly
incurred or otherwise assumed such guaranteed Indebtedness. For purposes of this
calculation, a "MATERIAL ASSET ACQUISITION" is an Asset Acquisition that has a

Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period as determined on a
consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, including, without limitation, (i)

Protection Obligations, (iii) the interest portion of any deferred payment
obligation, and (iv) all accrued interest and (b) the interest component of
Capitalized Lease Obligations paid, accrued and/or scheduled to be paid or
accrued by such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries during such period as
determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP less (c) interest
income of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries during such period as

period, the consolidated net income (or loss) of such Person and its Restricted
Subsidiaries for such period, including Alderwoods and its Restricted

ARTICLE 2
THE FIVE-YEAR NOTES
SECTION 2.01 ISSUANCE OF FIVE-YEAR NOTES.
The aggregate principal amount of Five-Year Notes which may be
outstanding at any time under this Indenture may not exceed $250,000,000 at any
time, except to the extent permitted by Sections 2.08 and 2.17. Upon the
execution and delivery of this Indenture, Five-Year Notes in an aggregate
principal amount of $250,000,000, and such additional amount as provided for in
Section 2.17, may be executed by Xxxxxxxxxx and delivered to the Trustee for
authentication. The Five-Year Notes will be secured general obligations of
Alderwoods.
The Five-Year Notes under this Indenture are being issued pursuant to
the Plan of Reorganization which provides, among other things, that the
Five-Year Notes and certain other securities are being issued in exchange for
and in satisfaction of certain claims against Alderwoods, The Xxxxxx Group Inc.
(the former parent company of Alderwoods) or certain Debtor Subsidiaries (as
defined in the Plan of Reorganization) of Alderwoods or The Xxxxxx Group Inc. As
a condition precedent to the receipt, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, of
a Global Note or a Physical Note initially issued by Xxxxxxxxxx, each holder of
Allowed Claims (as defined in the Plan of Reorganization) entitled to receive
Five-Year Notes pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization must, except as otherwise
provided in the Plan of Reorganization, tender to the Disbursing Agent (as
defined in the Plan of Reorganization) the securities in exchange for which the
Five-Year Notes are being issued hereunder in accordance with the Plan of
Reorganization and the confirmation order relating thereto. Accordingly,
Five-Year Notes may be issued on different dates commencing on the Measurement
Date, and special provision will be made in accordance with the Plan of
Reorganization and the confirmation order relating thereto with respect to
procedures for issuance of Five-Year Notes and certain deductions that may be
made by the Disbursing Agent from amounts otherwise payable in respect of
accrued interest on Five-Year Notes first issued on or after June 15, 2002. No
Five-Year Note will be deemed outstanding for purposes of exercising voting or
similar rights of a Holder pursuant to this Indenture unless and until it or a
Predecessor Note has been issued to the Holder in compliance with such
conditions of issuance as may be set forth in the Plan of Reorganization or the
confirmation order relating thereto. Receipt by the Trustee of an authentication
order from Alderwoods or the Disbursing Agent will be sufficient evidence of
compliance with such conditions. If the date of issuance of any Five-Year Note
is on or after June 15, 2002, the Disbursing Agent will deliver to the Holder,
together with such Five-Year Note, an amount of cash equal to the amount of
interest payable thereon from the Measurement Date to the Interest Payment Date
immediately preceding such date of issuance or to the date of issuance if such
date is an Interest Payment Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that there will be deducted
therefrom an amount equal to any taxes paid or payable in respect of such
Five-Year Note, and an amount sufficient to compensate the Trustee, Alderwoods
and the Disbursing Agent for their reasonable expenses of administering such
Five-Year Note from the Measurement Date to the date of its issuance.
The Five-Year Notes and the Trustee's certificate of authentication
thereon shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A or B hereto, with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are
required or permitted by this Indenture and may have such letters, numbers or
other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as
may be required to comply with any applicable law or with the rules of any
securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the
Officers executing such Five-Year Notes, as evidenced by their execution
thereof. The Five-Year Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without
coupons and only in denominations of $100 and integral multiples thereof.
The definitive Five-Year Notes shall be printed, typewritten,
lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may
be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities
exchange on which the Five-Year Notes may be listed, all as determined by the
Officers executing such Five-Year Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such
Five-Year Notes. Each Five-Year Note shall be dated the date of its
authentication.
In accordance with the terms of the Plan of Reorganization and subject
to the penultimate paragraph of this Section 2.01, Five-Year Notes shall be
issued in the form of one or more permanent global Five-Year Notes substantially
in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the "GLOBAL NOTE") deposited with, or
on behalf of, the Depositary or with the Trustee, as custodian for the
Depositary, duly executed by Xxxxxxxxxx and authenticated by
16
the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the
Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made
on the records of the Depositary or its nominee, or of the Trustee, as custodian
for the Depositary or its nominee, as hereinafter provided.
Each holder of an Allowed Claim entitled to receive Five-Year Notes
pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization who has tendered the securities
representing such holder's Allowed Claim and otherwise complied with the terms
of the Plan of Reorganization but is not eligible to hold a Global Note shall be
issued Five-Year Notes in the form of permanent certificated Five-Year Notes in
registered form in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the
"PHYSICAL NOTES"). Five-Year Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.09 in exchange
for interests in the Global Note shall be in the form of Physical Notes.
The terms and provisions contained in the form of the Five-Year Notes,
annexed hereto as Exhibits A and B, shall constitute, and are hereby expressly
made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, Alderwoods and the
Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to
such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.
SECTION 2.02 RESTRICTIVE LEGEND.
Each Global Note shall bear the following legend on the face thereof:
UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF
THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A
NEW YORK CORPORATION ("DTC"), TO ALDERWOODS OR
ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE
ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS
REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE
TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER
HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL
BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF CEDE & CO. OR
TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR'S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF
THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 2 OF THE INDENTURE.
SECTION 2.03 EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION.
Two Officers shall execute the Five-Year Notes on behalf of Alderwoods
by either manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a
Five-Year Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates
the Five-Year Note or at any time thereafter, the Five-Year Note shall be valid
nevertheless.
A Five-Year Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of
the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Five-Year
Note. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Five-Year Note has
been authenticated under this Indenture.
The Trustee shall authenticate Five-Year Notes for original issue upon
receipt of an Officers' Certificate signed by two Officers of Alderwoods
directing the Trustee to authenticate the Five-Year Notes and certifying that
all conditions precedent to the issuance of the Five-Year Notes contained herein
have been complied with.
With the prior written approval of Xxxxxxxxxx, the Trustee may appoint
an authenticating agent acceptable to Alderwoods to authenticate Five-Year
Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent
may authenticate Five-Year Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference
in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by
such agent. Such authenticating agent shall have the same rights as the Trustee
in any dealings hereunder with Xxxxxxxxxx or with any of Alderwoods' Affiliates.
17
SECTION 2.04 REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT.
Alderwoods shall maintain an office or agency (which shall be located
in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of
New York, State of
New York) where
Five-Year Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(the "REGISTRAR"), an office or agency (which shall be located in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of
New York, State of
New York) where Five-Year Notes may be
presented for payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest (the "PAYING
AGENT") and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon Xxxxxxxxxx
in respect of the Five-Year Notes and this Indenture may be served. The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Five-Year Notes and of their transfer and
exchange. Alderwoods may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more
additional paying agents. The term "PAYING AGENT" includes any additional paying
agent. Alderwoods may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar upon 30
days' notice to the Trustee. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Indenture, Alderwoods or any Affiliate thereof may act as Paying Agent,
Registrar or co-Registrar. Alderwoods shall enter into an appropriate agency
agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture,
which shall incorporate the provisions of the TIA. The agreement shall implement
the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Registrar or Paying Agent.
Alderwoods shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such
Registrar or Paying Agent. If Xxxxxxxxxx fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying
Agent or agent for service of notices and demands, or fails to give the
foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to
appropriate compensation in accordance with Section 7.08. Xxxxxxxxxx initially
appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of notices
and demands in connection with the Five-Year Notes.
SECTION 2.05 PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST.
Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the
Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the Five-Year Notes (whether such money has been
distributed to it by Alderwoods or any other obligor on the Five-Year Notes),
and Alderwoods (or any other obligor on the Five-Year Notes) and the Paying
Agent shall notify the Trustee of any default by Alderwoods (or any other
obligor on the Five-Year Notes) in making any such payment. If Alderwoods or an
Affiliate of Alderwoods acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money and
hold it as a separate trust fund. Alderwoods at any time may require a Paying
Agent to distribute all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any
funds disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of Event
of Default under Section 6.01 (a) or (b) with respect to the Five-Year Notes,
upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all
money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds distributed. Upon
doing so, the Paying Agent (other than an obligor on the Five-Year Notes) shall
have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee.
SECTION 2.06 HOLDER LISTS.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is
not the Registrar, Alderwoods shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten Business
Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee
may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee
may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders, which list may be
conclusively relied upon by the Trustee.
SECTION 2.07 TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.
When Five-Year Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar
with a request to register the transfer of such Five-Year Notes or to exchange
such Five-Year Notes for an equal principal amount of Five-Year Notes of other
authorized denominations, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the
transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such
transaction are met; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Five-Year Notes surrendered for
transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar or co-Registrar,
duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Xxxxxx's attorney duly authorized in
writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, Xxxxxxxxxx shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Five-Year Notes at the Registrar's or
co-Registrar's request. No service charge shall be made for any transfer,
exchange or redemption, but Alderwoods may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar
18
governmental charge payable upon exchanges or transfers pursuant to Sections
3.07 or 9.05). The Registrar or co-Registrar shall not be required to register
the transfer of or exchange of any Five-Year Note (i) during a period beginning
at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption
of Five-Year Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such
mailing and (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article
3, except the unredeemed portion of any Five-Year Note being redeemed in part.
Any Holder of the Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note,
agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected
only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note
(or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Five-Year
Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.
SECTION 2.08 REPLACEMENT NOTES.
If a mutilated Five-Year Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the
Holder of a Five-Year Note claims that the Five-Year Note has been lost,
destroyed or wrongfully taken, Alderwoods shall issue and the Trustee shall
authenticate a replacement Five-Year Note if the Trustee's requirements are
satisfied. If required by the Trustee or Alderwoods, such Holder must provide an
indemnity bond or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of both Alderwoods
and the Trustee, to protect Alderwoods, the Trustee or any Paying Agent or
Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Five-Year Note is
replaced. Alderwoods may charge such Holder for its reasonable, out-of-pocket
expenses in replacing a Five-Year Note, including reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel. Every replacement Five-Year Note is an additional obligation of
Alderwoods.
SECTION 2.09 BOOK-ENTRY PROVISIONS FOR GLOBAL NOTE.
(a) The Global Note initially shall (i) be registered in the
name of the Depositary for such Global Note or the nominee of such Depositary,
(ii) be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary or with the Trustee, as
custodian for such Depositary, and (iii) bear a legend as set forth in Section
2.02. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("AGENT MEMBERS") shall
have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on
their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the
Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by Alderwoods, the Trustee and
any agent of Alderwoods or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note
for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
prevent Alderwoods, the Trustee or any agent of Alderwoods or the Trustee from
giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization
furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the Depositary and its
Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of
the rights of a Holder of any Five-Year Note.
(b) Transfers of the Global Note shall be limited to transfers
of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors
or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Note
may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the
Depositary. In addition, Physical Notes shall be issued to all beneficial owners
in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Note if (i) the
Depositary notifies Alderwoods that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for the Global Note and a successor depositary is not appointed by
Xxxxxxxxxx within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request for such
exchange from the Depositary.
(c) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the
beneficial interest in the Global Note pursuant to Section 2.09(b) to beneficial
owners who are required to hold Physical Notes, the Registrar shall reflect on
its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the
Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial
interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and Xxxxxxxxxx shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of like
tenor and amount.
(d) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global Note
to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.09(b), the Global Note shall be
deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and Alderwoods shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial
owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in
the Global Note an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of
authorized denominations.
19
(e) The Holder of the Global Note may grant proxies and
otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may
hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is
entitled to take under this Indenture or the Five-Year Notes.
(f) Any beneficial owner of interests in a Global Note may
request, and upon request shall be issued, Physical Notes in accordance with the
procedures of the Depositary. In connection with the execution, authentication
and delivery of such Physical Notes, the Registrar shall reflect on its books
and records a decrease in the principal amount of the relevant Global Note equal
to the principal amount of such Physical Notes and Alderwoods shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Physical Notes having an
equal aggregate principal amount.
SECTION 2.10 OUTSTANDING FIVE-YEAR NOTES.
Five-Year Notes outstanding at any time are all the Five-Year Notes
that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those canceled by it, those
delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not
outstanding. A Five-Year Note shall cease to be outstanding if Alderwoods or any
of its Subsidiaries holds the Five-Year Note.
If a Five-Year Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a
mutilated Five-Year Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Five-Year Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated Five-Year
Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Five-Year Note and
replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.07.
If on a Redemption Date or a Maturity Date the Paying Agent (other than
Alderwoods or an Affiliate of Alderwoods) holds cash sufficient to pay all of
the principal and interest due on the Five-Year Notes payable on that date, and
is not prohibited from paying such cash to the Holders of such Five-Year Notes
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such
Five-Year Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to
accrue.
SECTION 2.11 TREASURY NOTES.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Five-Year Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Five-Year
Notes owned by Alderwoods or any of its Affiliates shall be disregarded, except
that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Five-Year Notes that the
Trustee knows or has reason to know are so owned shall be disregarded.
SECTION 2.12 TEMPORARY NOTES.
Until definitive Five-Year Notes are prepared and ready for delivery,
Alderwoods may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Five-Year
Notes. Temporary Five-Year Notes shall be substantially in the form of
definitive Five-Year Notes but may have variations that Xxxxxxxxxx considers
appropriate for temporary Five-Year Notes. Without unreasonable delay,
Xxxxxxxxxx shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Five-Year
Notes in exchange for temporary Five-Year Notes. Until such exchange, temporary
Five-Year Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as
definitive Five-Year Notes. Holders of temporary Five-Year Notes shall be
entitled to all benefits of this Indenture.
SECTION 2.13 CANCELLATION.
Xxxxxxxxxx at any time may deliver Five-Year Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee
any Five-Year Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The
Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent
(other than Alderwoods or an Affiliate of Alderwoods), and no one else, shall
promptly cancel and dispose of all Five-Year Notes surrendered for transfer,
exchange, payment or cancellation, subject to the record retention requirements
of the Exchange Act. Subject to Section 2.08, Alderwoods may not issue new
Five-Year Notes to replace Five-Year Notes
20
that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If Alderwoods
shall acquire any of the Five-Year Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as
a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Five-Year
Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation
pursuant to this Section 2.13.
SECTION 2.14 DEFAULTED INTEREST.
If Alderwoods defaults on a payment of interest on the Five-Year Notes,
it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent permitted by law) any
interest payable on the defaulted interest, in accordance with the terms hereof,
to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date
shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date. Alderwoods shall
fix such special record date and payment date in a manner satisfactory to the
Trustee. At least 15 days before such special record date, Xxxxxxxxxx shall mail
to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date
and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted
interest, if any, to be paid.
SECTION 2.15 CUSIP NUMBER.
Alderwoods in issuing the Five-Year Notes may use a "CUSIP" number with
respect to the Five-Year Notes (if then generally in use), and if so, the
Trustee may use the CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a
convenience to Holders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such notice may state that
no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number
printed in the notice or on the Five-Year Notes, and that reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers printed on the Five-Year Notes.
Alderwoods will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP number.
SECTION 2.16 DEPOSIT OF MONEYS.
On or before each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date, Alderwoods
shall deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent in immediately available funds
money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment
Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner that permits the
Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date or
Maturity Date, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.17 ISSUANCE OF NOTES IN EXCESS OF $250,000,000 PURSUANT TO
PLAN OF REORGANIZATION.
Alderwoods may issue and have outstanding at any time under this
Indenture an aggregate principal amount of Five-Year Notes exceeding
$250,000,000 to the extent required as a result of the application of the
rounding provisions set forth in Section VI.H.3.b of the Plan of Reorganization.
ARTICLE 3
REDEMPTION OF FIVE-YEAR NOTES
SECTION 3.01 OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
The Five-Year Notes are redeemable in whole or in part at the option of
Alderwoods at 100% of the stated principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest to (but not including) the Redemption Date. If Alderwoods elects to
redeem any Five-Year Notes, in whole or in part, it shall notify the Trustee of
the Redemption Date and principal amount of Five-Year Notes to be redeemed.
Xxxxxxxxxx shall notify the Trustee by an Officers' Certificate,
stating that such redemption will comply with the provisions hereof and of such
Five-Year Notes, of any optional redemption at least 45 days before the
Redemption Date (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee).
21
SECTION 3.02 MANDATORY REDEMPTION.
The Five-Year Notes are subject to mandatory redemption on the
following anniversary dates of the Measurement Date (if any such date is not a

SECTION 3.03 SELECTION OF FIVE-YEAR NOTES TO BE REDEEMED.

before the Redemption Date from outstanding Five-Year Notes not previously
called for redemption.
The Trustee shall promptly notify Alderwoods and the Registrar in
writing of the Five-Year Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any

be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Five-Year Notes shall relate,
in the case of any Five-Year Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to
the portion of the principal amount of such Five-Year Note that has been or is
to be redeemed.
SECTION 3.04 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, mailed not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption

if any, to be paid;
(c) that, unless Xxxxxxxxxx defaults in making the redemption

such Five-Year Notes is to receive payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest, if any, upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Five-Year Notes
redeemed;
(d) if any Five-Year Note is to be redeemed in part, the
portion of the principal amount (equal to $100 or any integral multiple thereof)
of such Five-Year Note to be redeemed and that on and after the Redemption Date,
upon surrender for cancellation of such original Five-Year Note to the Paying
Agent, a new Five-
22
Year Note or Five-Year Notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion thereof will be issued without charge to the Holder;
(e) that Five-Year Notes called for redemption must be
surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price and accrued

written request and expense, by the Trustee in the name of Alderwoods.
SECTION 3.05 EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption
Price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Five-Year Notes called for
redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the Redemption Date.
SECTION 3.06 DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.
On or prior to any Redemption Date, Alderwoods shall deposit with the

Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, all the Five-Year Notes or
portions thereof that are to be redeemed on that date, other than Five-Year
Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date that have been
delivered by Alderwoods to the Trustee for cancellation. The Paying Agent shall
promptly return to Alderwoods any money deposited with the Paying Agent by
Xxxxxxxxxx in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of,
and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Five-Year Notes to be redeemed.
If Alderwoods complies with the preceding paragraph, then, unless
Xxxxxxxxxx defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price, interest on the
Five-Year Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable
Redemption Date, whether or not such Five-Year Notes are presented for payment.
If any Five-Year Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent
lawful, accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall, until paid, bear interest
from the Redemption Date at the rate provided in the Five-Year Notes.

Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Five-Year Note that is to be
redeemed in part, Xxxxxxxxxx shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate

operation and maintenance of any of its properties or assets if such
discontinuance is, in the judgment of Alderwoods or such Restricted Subsidiary,
desirable in the conduct of its business and if such discontinuance is not

Certificate setting forth the Five-Year Notes or portions thereof tendered to
and accepted for payment by Alderwoods. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or
deliver to the Holders of Five-Year Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal
to the purchase price, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or

withdrawn, Alderwoods will be obliged to purchase all such Five-Year Notes at
the Change of Control Purchase Price on the Change of Control Purchase Date in
compliance with the requirements applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by
Alderwoods. Alderwoods shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer

manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements
applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by Xxxxxxxxxx and purchases all

Offer. Alderwoods will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements
of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws or

Change of Control Offer.
SECTION 4.12 DISPOSITION OF PROCEEDS OF ASSET SALES. (a) Alderwoods
will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than
Rose Hills Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation, or any Subsidiary thereof)
to, make any Asset Sale unless (i) Alderwoods or such Restricted Subsidiary, as
the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least
equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares or assets sold or otherwise
disposed of and (ii) except with respect to assets listed on Schedule 4.12
hereto, at least 75% of such consideration consists of cash or Cash Equivalents.
To the extent the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale are not required to be
applied to repay, and permanently reduce the commitments under, the Exit
Facility (as required by the terms thereof) or are applied to payment of
Two-Year Notes or Five-Year Notes (or with respect to assets of Rose Hills
Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation, or any of its Subsidiaries, to repay
Indebtedness under the Rose Hills Credit Agreement or the Rose Hills Indenture),
Alderwoods or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may, within 270
days of such Asset Sale, apply such Net Cash Proceeds to an investment in
properties and assets that replace the properties and assets that were the
subject of such Asset Sale or in properties and assets that will be used in the
business of Alderwoods and its Restricted Subsidiaries as existing on the
Measurement Date or in businesses reasonably related thereto ("REPLACEMENT
ASSETS"). Any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are neither used to
repay, and permanently reduce the commitments under, the Exit Facility or
Five-Year Notes or Two-Year Notes (or with respect to assets of Rose Hills
Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation, or any of its Subsidiaries, to repay
Indebtedness under the Rose Hills Credit Agreement or the Rose Hills Indenture)
nor invested in Replacement Assets within the 270-day period described above
exceeding, in the aggregate, $10,000,000 in any fiscal year of Alderwoods
constitute "EXCESS PROCEEDS" subject to disposition as provided below.
(b) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or
exceeds $10,000,000, Alderwoods shall make an offer to purchase (an "ASSET SALE
OFFER"), from all holders of Five-Year Notes, not more than 40 Business Days
thereafter, an aggregate principal amount of Five-Year Notes equal to such
Excess Proceeds, at a price in cash equal to 100% of the outstanding principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date
(the "ASSET SALE OFFER PRICE").
30
(c) Notice of an Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by
Alderwoods to all Holders of Five-Year Notes not less than 20 Business Days nor
more than 40 Business Days before the date on which Alderwoods intends to
consummate the Asset Sale Offer ("ASSET SALE PURCHASE DATE") at their last
registered address with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent. The Asset
Sale Offer shall remain open from the time of mailing for at least 20 Business
Days and until at least 5:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior
to the Asset Sale Purchase Date. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the
Asset Sale Offer, shall include such disclosures as are required by law and
shall state:
(i) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to
this Section 4.12;
(ii) the Asset Sale Offer Price (including the amount of
accrued interest, if any) for each Five-Year Note, the Asset Sale Purchase Date
and the date on which the Asset Sale Offer expires;
(iii) that any Five-Year Note not tendered or accepted for
payment will continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms thereof;
(iv) that, unless Alderwoods defaults in the payment of
the Asset Sale Offer Price, any Five-Year Note accepted for payment pursuant to
the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Asset Sale
Purchase Date;
(v) that Holders electing to have Five-Year Notes
purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer must surrender their Five-Year Notes
to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, three Business Days prior to the Asset Sale Purchase Date
and must complete any form of letter of transmittal proposed by Xxxxxxxxxx and
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Paying Agent;
(vi) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their
election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, one Business Day prior to the Asset Sale Purchase Date, a facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal
amount of Five-Year Notes the Holder delivered for purchase, the Five-Year Note
certificate number (if any) and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its
election to have such Five-Year Notes purchased;
(vii) that if Five-Year Notes in a principal amount in
excess of the Holder's pro rata share of the amount of Excess Proceeds are
tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, Alderwoods shall purchase Five-Year
Notes on a pro rata basis among the Five-Year Notes tendered (with such
adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by Alderwoods so that only Five-Year
Notes in denominations of $100 or integral multiples of $100 shall be acquired);
(viii) that Holders whose Five-Year Notes are purchased
only in part will be issued new Five-Year Notes equal in principal amount to the
unpurchased portion of the Five-Year Notes surrendered;
(ix) the instructions that Holders must follow in order to
tender their Five-Year Notes; and
(x) such other information concerning Alderwoods and the
Asset Sale Offer as Alderwoods reasonably determines is appropriate.
Alderwoods shall comply with the requirements under the Exchange Act
and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws
and regulations are applicable in connection with any Asset Sales and Asset Sale
Offers.
(d) On the Asset Sale Purchase Date, Alderwoods shall (i)
accept for payment, on a pro rata basis, Five-Year Notes or portions thereof
tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent
money, in immediately available funds, in an amount sufficient to pay the Asset
Sale Offer Price of all Five-Year Notes or portions thereof so tendered and
accepted and (iii) deliver to the Trustee the Five-Year Notes so
31
accepted together with an Officers' Certificate setting forth the Five-Year
Notes or portions thereof tendered to and accepted for payment by Alderwoods.
The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to Holders of Five-Year Notes so
accepted payment in an amount equal to the Asset Sale Offer Price, and the
Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a new
Five-Year Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the
Five-Year Note surrendered. Any Five-Year Notes not so accepted shall be
promptly mailed or delivered by Xxxxxxxxxx to the Holder thereof.
(e) Alderwoods will publicly announce the results of the Asset
Sale Offer not later than the second Business Day following the Asset Sale
Purchase Date. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Five-Year
Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds,
Alderwoods may use such deficiency for general corporate purposes. Upon
completion of such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be
reset to zero. For purposes of this Section 4.12, the Trustee shall act as
Paying Agent.
(f) Alderwoods will comply, to the extent applicable, with the
requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws
or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Five-Year Notes pursuant to
the Asset Sale Offer.
SECTION 4.13 LIMITATION ON TRANSACTIONS WITH INTERESTED PERSONS.

or services) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of Alderwoods or any
"BENEFICIAL OWNER" (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act)
of 5% or more of the Common Stock of Alderwoods at any time outstanding
("INTERESTED PERSONS"), unless (a) such transaction or series of related

Affiliates of Alderwoods or Interested Persons, and (b) with respect to a
transaction or series of transactions involving aggregate payments or value
equal to or greater than $25,000,000, Alderwoods has obtained a written opinion
from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that the terms of such transaction
or series of transactions are fair to Alderwoods or its Restricted Subsidiary,
as the case may be, from a financial point of view; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this
covenant will not restrict Alderwoods or any Restricted Subsidiary from (i)
paying dividends in respect of its Capital Stock permitted under Section 4.08,
(ii) paying reasonable and customary fees to directors of Alderwoods or any
Restricted Subsidiary who are not otherwise employees of Alderwoods or any

(f) default under any Indebtedness under which Alderwoods or

Notes;

pursuant to or under or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.
Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, the Trustee shall

notice thereof shall have been given to a Trust Officer at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee by Xxxxxxxxxx, the Paying Agent, any Holder, any holder of
Indebtedness of Alderwoods or any of their respective agents.
SECTION 6.02 ACCELERATION.
If an Event of Default (other than as specified in Section 6.01(g) or
6.01(h) with respect to Alderwoods or any Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is
continuing with respect to the Five-Year Notes, the Trustee, by written notice
to Alderwoods, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Five-Year Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Trustee and
Alderwoods, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Five-Year Notes to be due and payable
immediately, upon which declaration, all amounts payable in respect of the
Five-Year Notes shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(g) or 6.01(h) occurs with respect to Alderwoods or any
Significant Subsidiary and is continuing, then the principal of, premium, if
any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Five-Year Notes
shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of Five-Year
Notes.
After a declaration of acceleration hereunder with respect to the
Five-Year Notes, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due
has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Five-Year Notes, by written notice to
Xxxxxxxxxx and the Trustee, may rescind such declaration if: (a) Alderwoods has
paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (i) all amounts due
the Trustee under Section 7.08 and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, (ii) all
overdue interest on all Five-Year Notes, (iii) the principal of and premium, if
any, on any Five-Year Notes that have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the
Five-Year Notes, and (iv) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
interest upon overdue interest and overdue principal that has become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration at the rate borne by the
Five-Year Notes; (b) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or
decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (c) all Events of Default,
other than the non-payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Five-Year Notes that has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration,
have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.04 or Section 6.01(f).
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of
Default or impair any right subsequent therein.
SECTION 6.03 OTHER REMEDIES.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, subject to the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by
proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on the Five-Year Notes or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Five-Year Notes or this Indenture.
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Five-Year
Notes may be enforced by the Trustee even if it does not possess any of the
Five-Year Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing
upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any
other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by
law.
SECTION 6.04 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Five-Year
Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all
37
the Five-Year Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences, except a Default or Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)
or (b) or in respect of any provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Holder so affected pursuant to Section 9.02. When a
Default or Event of Default is so waived, it shall be deemed cured and shall
cease to exist.
SECTION 6.05 CONTROL BY MAJORITY.
The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Five-Year Notes shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Trustee may, with the advice of counsel, refuse to follow any
direction (a) that conflicts with any rule of law or this Indenture, (b) that
the Trustee determines in good faith would be unduly prejudicial to the rights
of another Holder, or (c) that would expose the Trustee to personal liability
unless the Trustee has been provided reasonable indemnity against any loss or
expense caused by its following such direction; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not
inconsistent with such direction.
SECTION 6.06 LIMITATION ON SUITS.
No Holder of any Five-Year Notes shall have any right to institute any
proceeding or pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Five-Year
Notes unless:
(a) the Holder gives written notice to the Trustee of a
continuing Event of Default;
(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Five-Year Notes make a written request to the Trustee to
pursue the remedy;
(c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to
the Trustee reasonable indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;
(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 45
days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, provision of
indemnity; and
(e) during such 45-day period the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Five-Year Notes do not give the
Trustee a direction which is inconsistent with the request.
The foregoing limitations shall not apply to a suit instituted by a
Holder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
accrued interest on, such Five-Year Note on or after the respective due dates
set forth in such Five-Year Note.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any
other Holders or to obtain priority or preference over such other Holders.
SECTION 6.07 RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the right of any
Holder of a Five-Year Note to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on such Five-Year Note, on or after the respective Stated
Maturities expressed in such Five-Year Note, or to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after the respective Stated Maturities, is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent of the Holder.
SECTION 6.08 COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE.
If an Event of Default specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and
as trustee of an express trust against Alderwoods or any other obligor on the
Five-Year Notes for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and
accrued interest remaining unpaid,
38
together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of
such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each
case at the rate per annum borne by the Five-Year Notes and such further amount
as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel.
SECTION 6.09 TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIMS.
The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents
as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee (including
any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to Alderwoods (or any other obligor upon the Five-Year
Notes), their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial
proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to
the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.08. Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Five-Year
Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote
in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall
pay out such money in the following order:

Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according
to the amounts due and payable on the Five-Year Notes for interest;
Third: to the Holders for principal amounts (including any
premium) owing under the Five-Year Notes, ratably, without preference
or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on
the Five-Year Notes for principal (including any premium); and
Fourth: the balance, if any, to Alderwoods.
The Trustee, upon prior written notice to Alderwoods, may fix a record
date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.
SECTION 6.11 UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as Trustee, a court may in its discretion require the filing by any party
litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the
court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.
This Section 6.11 does not apply to any suit by the Trustee, any suit by a
Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Five-Year Notes.
SECTION 6.12 RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce
any right or remedy under this Indenture or any Five-Year Note and such
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been
determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such
case Alderwoods, the Trustee
39
and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be
restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue
as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it
is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the
Default or Event of Default within 30 days after such Default or Event of
Default becomes known to the Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except in the
case of a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Five-Year Note, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding
such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee of
the board of directors or a committee of the directors of the Trustee and/or

41
SECTION 7.06 MONEY HELD IN TRUST.
All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as
herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received,
but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein
or by law. The Trustee shall not be under any liability for interest on any
moneys received by it hereunder, except as the Trustee may agree with
Xxxxxxxxxx.
SECTION 7.07 REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS.
Within 60 days after each May 31st beginning with the May 31st
following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall, to the extent that any
of the events described in TIA Section 313(a) shall have occurred within the
previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Holder a brief report
dated as of such May 31st that complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee
also shall comply with TIA Sections 313(b) and 313(c).
A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be
mailed to Alderwoods and filed with the Commission and each securities exchange,
if any, on which the Five-Year Notes are listed.
Alderwoods shall notify the Trustee in writing if the Five-Year Notes
become listed on any securities exchange.
SECTION 7.08 COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY.
Alderwoods covenants and agrees to pay the Trustee from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services. The Trustee's compensation shall not
be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.
Alderwoods shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable
disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by it. Such expenses shall
include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's
agents and counsel.
Xxxxxxxxxx shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless
against, any loss or liability incurred by it arising out of or in connection
with the administration of this trust and its rights or duties hereunder,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify Alderwoods promptly of any claim
asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity. Alderwoods shall

collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except assets held in
trust to pay principal of, premium, if any, or interest on particular Five-Year
Notes.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h), the expenses and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
The obligations of Alderwoods under this Section 7.08 and any Lien
arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of any trustee, the
discharge of the obligations of Alderwoods pursuant to Article 8 and/or the
termination of this Indenture.
SECTION 7.09 REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE.
The Trustee may resign by so notifying Xxxxxxxxxx. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Five-Year Notes may remove the
Trustee by so notifying Xxxxxxxxxx and the Trustee and may appoint a successor
trustee with Xxxxxxxxxx' prior written consent. Alderwoods may remove the
Trustee if:
42
(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.11;
(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an
order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy
Law;
(c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
Trustee or its property; or
(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Trustee for any reason, Xxxxxxxxxx shall notify each Holder of such
event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. The Trustee shall be
entitled to payment of its fees and reimbursement of its expenses while acting
as Trustee as provided in Section 7.08, and to the extent such amounts remain
unpaid, the Trustee that has resigned or has been removed shall retain the Lien
afforded by Section 7.08. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes
office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Five-Year Notes may, with Xxxxxxxxxx' prior written consent, appoint a successor
Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by Xxxxxxxxxx.
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to Alderwoods. Immediately after that,
the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the
successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided in Section 7.08, the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each
Holder.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, Xxxxxxxxxx or the
Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Five-Year Notes
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.
If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.11, any Holder may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and
the appointment of a successor Trustee.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
7.09, the obligations of Alderwoods under Section 7.08 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.
SECTION 7.10 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC.
If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers
all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation
or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee
corporation or national banking association without any further act shall, if
such resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking
association is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee.
SECTION 7.11 ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION.
There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible
to act as Trustee under TIA Sections 310(a)(1) and 310(a)(5) and which shall
have a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article.
43
SECTION 7.12 PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST ALDERWOODS.
The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any
creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). If the present or any future
Trustee shall resign or be removed, it shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to
the extent provided therein.
ARTICLE 8
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE
SECTION 8.01 TERMINATION OF THE OBLIGATION OF ALDERWOODS.
Alderwoods may terminate its obligations under the Five-Year Notes and
this Indenture, except those obligations referred to in the penultimate
paragraph of this Section 8.01, if all Five-Year Notes previously authenticated
and delivered (other than destroyed, lost or stolen Five-Year Notes that have
been replaced or paid or Five-Year Notes for whose payment money has theretofore
been deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent in trust or segregated and
held in trust by Xxxxxxxxxx and thereafter repaid to Alderwoods, as provided in
Section 8.04) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and Alderwoods
has paid all sums payable by it hereunder, or if:
(a) either (i) pursuant to Article 3, Xxxxxxxxxx shall have
given notice to the Trustee and mailed a notice of redemption to each Holder of
the redemption of all of the Five-Year Notes under arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for the giving of such notice or (ii) all Five-Year Notes have
otherwise become due and payable hereunder;
(b) Alderwoods shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to
be deposited with the Trustee or a trustee reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of
the Holders for that purpose, money in such amount as is sufficient without
consideration of reinvestment of interest, to pay principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the outstanding Five-Year Notes to maturity or redemption, as
certified in a certificate of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants; PROVIDED that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to
apply such money to the payment of said principal, premium, if any, and interest
with respect to the Five-Year Notes;
(c) no Default or Event of Default with respect to this
Indenture or the Five-Year Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the
date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit
will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any
other instrument to which Alderwoods is a party or by which it is bound;
(d) Xxxxxxxxxx shall have paid all other sums payable by it
hereunder; and
(e) Xxxxxxxxxx shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent providing for the termination of Xxxxxxxxxx' obligation
under the Five-Year Notes and this Indenture have been complied with.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, Alderwoods' obligations in
Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 4.01, 4.02 and 7.08 shall survive until the
Five-Year Notes are no longer outstanding pursuant to Section 2.10. After the
Five-Year Notes are no longer outstanding, Alderwoods' obligations in Sections
7.08, 8.03, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive.
After such delivery or irrevocable deposit the Trustee upon request
shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of Alderwoods' obligations under the
Five-Year Notes except for those surviving obligations specified above.
44
SECTION 8.02 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE.
(a) Alderwoods may, at its option by Board Resolution, at any
time, with respect to the Five-Year Notes, elect to have either paragraph (b) or
paragraph (c) below be applied to the outstanding Five-Year Notes upon
compliance with the conditions set forth in paragraph (d).
(b) Upon Alderwoods' exercise under paragraph (a) of the
option applicable to this paragraph (b), Alderwoods shall be deemed to have been
released and discharged from its obligations with respect to the outstanding
Five-Year Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, "LEGAL DEFEASANCE"). For this purpose, such legal defeasance means
that Alderwoods shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
indebtedness represented by the outstanding Five-Year Notes, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be "OUTSTANDING" only for the purposes of paragraph (e)
below and the other Sections of and matters under this Indenture referred to in
(i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such
Five-Year Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Five-Year Notes are concerned
(and the Trustee, at the expense of Xxxxxxxxxx, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until
otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of
outstanding Five-Year Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in
paragraph (d) below and as more fully set forth in such paragraph, payments in
respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Five-Year
Notes when such payments are due, (ii) Alderwoods' obligations with respect to
such Five-Year Notes under Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 4.02, and, with respect to
the Trustee, under Section 7.08, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and (iv) this Article 8. Subject to
compliance with this Section 8.02, Alderwoods may exercise its option under this
paragraph (b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under paragraph
(c) below with respect to the Five-Year Notes.
(c) Upon the exercise by Xxxxxxxxxx under paragraph (a) of the
option applicable to this paragraph (c), Alderwoods shall be released and
discharged from its obligations under any covenant contained in Article 5 and in
Sections 4.05 through 4.17 with respect to the outstanding Five-Year Notes on
and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter,
"COVENANT DEFEASANCE"), and the Five-Year Notes shall thereafter be deemed to be
not "OUTSTANDING" for the purpose of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed "OUTSTANDING"
for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance
means that, with respect to the outstanding Five-Year Notes, Alderwoods may omit
to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of
any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other
document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event
of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of
this Indenture and such Five-Year Notes shall be unaffected thereby.
(d) The following shall be the conditions to application of
either paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) above to the outstanding Five-Year Notes:
(i) Alderwoods shall irrevocably have deposited or caused
to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements
of Section 7.11 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Section
8.02 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the
following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely
to, the benefit of the Holders of such Five-Year Notes, (A) cash, in United
States dollars, in an amount sufficient to pay principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the outstanding Five-Year Notes on the Maturity Date, (B) direct
non-callable obligations of, or non-callable obligations guaranteed by, the
United States of America for the payment of which guarantee or obligation the
full faith and credit of the United States is pledged ("U.S. GOVERNMENT
OBLIGATIONS") maturing as to principal, premium, if any, and interest in such
amounts of cash, in United States dollars, and at such times as are sufficient
without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Five-Year Notes not later than
one day before the due date of any payment, or (C) a combination thereof,
sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, to pay and discharge and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or
other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the outstanding Five-Year Notes (except lost, stolen or
destroyed Five-Year Notes which have been replaced or repaid) on the Maturity
45
Date thereof or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of
such Five-Year Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) shall have received an irrevocable written order from Alderwoods
instructing the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to apply such money or the
proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to said payments with respect to
the Five-Year Notes, and to secure the payment obligations of Alderwoods under
this Section 8.02(d), the Trustee shall have a perfected Lien prior to all other
creditors on all such money and proceeds;
(ii) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the
Five-Year Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
deposit or, insofar as Section 6.01(a) is concerned, at any time during the
period commencing on the date of such deposit and ending on the 91st day
thereafter (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed
satisfied until the expiration of such period);
(iii) such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall
not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest with respect to any
securities of Alderwoods;
(iv) such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall
not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default or Event of
Default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to
which Alderwoods is a party or by which it is bound;
(v) in the case of an election under paragraph (b) above,
Xxxxxxxxxx shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating
that (A) Xxxxxxxxxx has received from, or there has been published by, the
Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Indenture, there
has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to
the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders
of the outstanding Five-Year Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes as a result of such legal defeasance and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the
same times as would have been the case if such legal defeasance had not
occurred;
(vi) in the case of an election under paragraph (c) above,
Xxxxxxxxxx shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the Holders of the outstanding Five-Year Notes will not recognize
income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such
covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such covenant defeasance had not occurred;
(vii) in the case of an election under either paragraph
(b) or (c) above, Alderwoods shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that, (A) the trust funds will not be subject to any
rights of any other holders of Indebtedness of Alderwoods, and (B) after the
91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the
effect of any applicable Bankruptcy Law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if a court were
to rule under any such law in any case or proceeding that the trust funds
remained property of Alderwoods, no opinion needs to be given as to the effect
of such laws on the trust funds except the following: (x) assuming such trust
funds remained in the Trustee's possession prior to such court ruling to the
extent not paid to Holders of Five-Year Notes, the Trustee will hold, for the
benefit of the Holders of Five-Year Notes, a valid and enforceable security
interest in such trust funds that is not avoidable in bankruptcy or otherwise,
subject only to principles of equitable subordination, (y) the Holders of
Five-Year Notes will be entitled to receive adequate protection of their
interests in such trust funds if such trust funds are used, and (z) no property,
rights in property or other interests granted to the Trustee or the Holders of
Five-Year Notes in exchange for or with respect to any of such funds will be
subject to any prior rights of any other Person, subject only to prior Liens
granted under Section 364 of Title 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or any
section of any other Bankruptcy Law having the same effect), but still subject
to the foregoing clause (y); and
(viii) Alderwoods shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (A) all
conditions precedent provided for relating to either the legal defeasance under
paragraph (b) above or the covenant defeasance under paragraph (c) above, as the
case may be, have been complied with and (B) if any other Indebtedness of
Alderwoods shall then be outstanding or committed, such legal defeasance or
covenant defeasance will not violate the provisions of the agreements or
instruments evidencing such Indebtedness.
46
(e) All money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the
proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee)
pursuant to paragraph (d) above in respect of the outstanding Five-Year Notes
shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee),
in accordance with the provisions of such Five-Year Notes and this Indenture, to
the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (other than Alderwoods
or any Affiliate of Alderwoods) as the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) may
determine, to the Holders of such Five-Year Notes of all sums due and to become
due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, but such money need
not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
Alderwoods shall pay and indemnify the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the
U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to paragraph (d) above or the
principal, premium, if any, and interest received in respect thereof other than
any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders
of the outstanding Five-Year Notes.
Anything in this Section 8.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) shall deliver or pay to Alderwoods from
time to time upon the request, in writing, by Xxxxxxxxxx any money or U.S.
Government Obligations held by it as provided in paragraph (d) above that, in
the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be
required to be deposited to effect an equivalent legal defeasance or covenant
defeasance.
SECTION 8.03 APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY.
The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations
deposited with it pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.02, and shall apply the
deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations in accordance
with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Five-Year Notes.
SECTION 8.04 REPAYMENT TO ALDERWOODS.
Subject to Sections 7.08, 8.01 and 8.02, the Trustee shall promptly pay
to Alderwoods, upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate, any
excess money, determined in accordance with Section 8.02, held by it at any
time. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to Alderwoods, upon receipt by
the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, of an Officers'
Certificate, any money held by it for the payment of principal, premium, if any,
or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after payment to the Holders is
required; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee and the Paying Agent before being
required to make any payment may, but need not, at the expense of Alderwoods
cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of
New York or mail to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein, which shall be at
least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to Alderwoods. After payment
to Alderwoods, Holders entitled to money must look solely to Alderwoods for
payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law
designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee or Paying Agent with
respect to such money shall thereupon cease.
SECTION 8.05 REINSTATEMENT.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then
and only then Alderwoods' obligations under this Indenture and the Five-Year
Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had been made
pursuant to this Indenture until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply
all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if Alderwoods has made any payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Five-Year Notes because of the reinstatement
of its obligations, Alderwoods shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders
of such Five-Year Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S.
Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9
AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS
SECTION 9.01 WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS.
Alderwoods, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may
amend, waive or supplement this Indenture or the Five-Year Notes without notice
to or consent of any Holder:
(a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
(b) to comply with Article 5;
(c) to comply with any requirements of the Commission to
effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; or
(d) to make any change that would provide any additional
benefit or rights to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the rights of
any Holder.
SECTION 9.02 WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS.
Subject to Section 6.04, Alderwoods, when authorized by a Board
Resolution, and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Five-Year Notes with
the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Five-Year Notes then outstanding, and the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Five-Year Notes then
outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by
Alderwoods with any provision of this Indenture or the Five-Year Notes.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.02, without the
consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver, including a waiver
pursuant to Section 9.01, may not:
(a) reduce the percentage in outstanding aggregate principal
amount of Five-Year Notes the Holders of which must consent to an amendment,
supplement or waiver of any provision of this Indenture or the Five-Year Notes;
(b) reduce or change the rate or time for payment of interest
on any Five-Year Note;
(c) change the currency in which any Five-Year Note, or any
premium or interest thereon, is payable;
(d) reduce the principal amount outstanding of or extend the
fixed maturity of any Five-Year Note or alter the redemption provisions with
respect thereto;
(e) make the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any
Five-Year Note payable in money other than that stated in the Five-Year Note;
(f) modify this Section 9.02 or Section 6.04 or Section 6.07;
(g) amend, alter, change or modify the obligation of
Alderwoods to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a
Change of Control or make and consummate the offer with respect to any Asset
Sale or modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto;
(h) modify or change any provision of this Indenture affecting
the senior ranking of the Five-Year Notes;
48
(i) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of
any payment on or with respect to the Five-Year Notes;
(j) release all or substantially all Subsidiary Guarantors and
other guarantors, if any, from guarantees of the Indebtedness evidenced by the
Five-Year Notes; or
(k) release all or substantially all Collateral.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this
Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02
becomes effective, Xxxxxxxxxx shall mail to the Holder of each Five-Year Note
affected thereby, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice briefly describing the
amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of Alderwoods to mail such notice,
or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the
validity of any amendment, supplement or waiver.
SECTION 9.03 COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.
Every amendment of or supplement to this Indenture or the Five-Year
Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.
SECTION 9.04 REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent
to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by such Holder and every subsequent
Holder of that Five-Year Note or portion of that Five-Year Note that evidences
the same debt as the consenting Holder's Five-Year Note, even if notation of the
consent is not made on any Five-Year Note. However, any such Holder or
subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Five-Year Note or portion of
a Five-Year Note prior to such amendment, supplement or waiver becoming
effective. Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the
notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this paragraph shall impair the
right of any Holder under Section 316(b) of the TIA.
Alderwoods may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for
the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment,
supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the second
and third sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who
were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only
those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or
waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons
continue to be Holders after such record date. Such consent shall be effective
only for actions taken within 90 days after such record date.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall
bind every Holder; unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (a)
through (k) of Section 9.02; if it makes such a change, the amendment,
supplement or waiver shall bind every consenting Holder and subsequent Holder of
a Five-Year Note or portion of a Five-Year Note that evidences the same debt as
the consenting Holder's Five-Year Note.
SECTION 9.05 NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF FIVE-YEAR NOTES.
If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Five-Year
Note, the Trustee shall (in accordance with the specific direction of
Alderwoods) request the Holder of the Five-Year Note to deliver it to the
Trustee. The Trustee shall (in accordance with the specific direction of
Alderwoods) place an appropriate notation on the Five-Year Note about the
changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if Alderwoods or the
Trustee so determines, Alderwoods in exchange for the Five-Year Note shall issue
and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Five-Year Note that reflects the
changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Five-Year
Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver.
49
SECTION 9.06 TRUSTEE MAY SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC.
The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized
pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to
sign such amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment,
supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is
not inconsistent herewith and that it will be valid and binding upon Alderwoods
in accordance with its terms.
ARTICLE 10
SECURITY
SECTION 10.01 SECURITY INTEREST.
(a) To secure the payment of the Indenture Obligations,
Alderwoods, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the
Trustee and the Exit Facility Agent, have entered into the Security Agreement,
the Control Agreements (as defined in the Exit Facility), the Deposit Account
Agreements (as defined in the Exit Facility) and the Mortgages (collectively,
the "COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS"), which shall grant the Collateral Agent, on behalf
of the Trustee, a Lien on all assets (other than Capital Stock) subject and
subordinate to Liens securing the Exit Facility. The Trustee and each Holder, by
accepting Five-Year Notes issued under this Indenture, acknowledge the binding
effect of the Collateral Documents as in effect and in existence on the date
hereof; provided, that in the event of a conflict between the provisions of
Collateral Documents and the provisions of the TIA, the provisions of the TIA
will control. The Trustee is hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the
Holders a collateral agency agreement, which will appoint the Collateral Agent
as collateral agent for the Holders, the Guaranty Inducement Agreement and
amendments, restatements, supplements, modifications and/or replacements
thereto.
(b) The Collateral will be held for the equal and ratable
benefit and security of the Holders of Five-Year Notes without preference,
priority, or distinction of any thereof over any other by reason of difference
in time of issuance, sale, or otherwise, and for the enforcement of the
Indenture Obligations.
(c) The security interests granted hereunder and under the
Collateral Documents or any similar agreement or document and any and all rights
with respect to any of the Collateral will be subordinated in all respects to
security interests and rights with respect to the Collateral granted in respect
of the Exit Facility pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement which the Trustee
is hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the Holders together with such
amendments, restatements, supplements, modifications and/or replacements with
respect thereto as shall be necessary or desirable to give effect to such
subordination.
(d) The initial aggregate book value of the Collateral will be
no less than the product of (i) the aggregate original principal amount of the
Exit Facility commitment and the original principal amount of the Five-Year
Notes times (ii) 1.25. Except as otherwise provided on Schedule 10.02, the
Collateral will initially include the real property listed on Schedule 10.01.
SECTION 10.02 RECORDING OF SECURITY INTERESTS; OPINIONS OF COUNSEL.
(a) Alderwoods and each Subsidiary Guarantor has executed,
delivered, filed, and recorded or, as set forth on Schedule 10.02, will execute,
deliver, file, and record, all instruments and documents, and has done or, as
set forth on Schedule 10.02, will do all such acts and other things, at
Alderwoods' or such Subsidiary Guarantor's expense, as applicable, as are
necessary to subject Collateral to the Collateral Documents. Subject to Schedule
10.02, Alderwoods will, and will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable,
to execute, deliver, file and record all instruments and do all acts and other
things as may be reasonably necessary to perfect, maintain and protect the
security interest provided for in Section 10.01.
50
(b) In addition to its obligations under the Collateral
Documents, Alderwoods will, and will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to, deliver
promptly after the execution and delivery of this Indenture any other instrument
of further assurance or amendment or waiver of any provision of this Indenture
or the Collateral Documents relating to the lien and security interest in
Collateral for the benefit of the Holders of Five-Year Notes, an Opinion of
Counsel in a form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee either (i) stating that,
in the opinion of such counsel, this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, any
financing statements, any continuation statements, and any other instruments of
further assurance or amendment have been properly recorded, registered, and
filed with respect to such types of Collateral as to which a lien and security
interest may be perfected by such actions, and that all such other acts and
things have been done, to the extent necessary under applicable law to perfect
and make effective the security interest therein and reciting the elements of
such action in reasonable detail, and stating that, as to the Collateral
Documents, such recording, registrations and filing, and such other acts and
things are the only recordings, registrations and filings, or other acts and
things, necessary under applicable law to give notice thereof and that no
rerecordings, reregistrations, refilings, or other acts or things, are necessary
under applicable law to maintain such notice, further stating that all financing
statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are
necessary under applicable law fully to preserve and protect the rights of the
Holders of Five-Year Notes and the Trustee hereunder and under the Collateral
Documents with respect to types of Collateral as to which a lien and security
interest may be perfected by such filing, or (ii) stating that, in the opinion
of such counsel, no such action is necessary under applicable law to perfect or
make effective such security interest. Any such opinion may be based upon
reasonable assumptions not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture or the
Collateral Documents as to future matters and as to actions taken and to be
taken by Xxxxxxxxxx and any Subsidiary or any other Person (other than the
Trustee), and may set forth the reasons underlying such opinion.
SECTION 10.03 RELEASE OF COLLATERAL.
In addition to its obligations under the Collateral Documents, as a
condition to any release of Collateral, Alderwoods will, and will cause each
Subsidiary Guarantor to, deliver to the Trustee the certificate or opinion, if
any, required by Section 314(d) of the TIA as to the fair value of the
Collateral to be released, dated as of a date not more than 60 calendar days
prior to the date of release. Any release of Collateral made in compliance with
the provisions of the Collateral Documents will be deemed not to impair the
security interest provided for in Section 10.01 in contravention of the
provisions of this Indenture. At the request and expense of Alderwoods, and upon
receipt of an Officers' Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to
Alderwoods (and if it does not do so, hereby directs the Collateral Agent to do
so) all such documents as are reasonably necessary to release the Lien created
under the Collateral Documents or hereunder with respect to any Collateral that
is being transferred to any Person other than Alderwoods or a Subsidiary
Guarantor in a transaction permitted by this Indenture.
SECTION 10.04 RELEASE UPON DEFEASANCE OR RELEASE OF COMPANY'S
OBLIGATIONS.
If the Indenture Obligations have been terminated and there are no
other Indenture Obligations under the Collateral Documents that remain
outstanding, the Trustee will, upon the request of Alderwoods and on behalf of
the Holders of Five-Year Notes issued hereunder, disclaim and give up any and
all rights it has in or to Collateral and any rights it has under the Collateral
Documents (excluding unasserted indemnity claims thereunder), and the Trustee
will not be deemed to hold the security interest provided for in Section 10.01
for the benefit of the Holders.
SECTION 10.05 RELIANCE ON OPINION OF COUNSEL.
The Trustee will, before taking any action under this Article 10, be
entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel, stating the legal effect of such
action, and that such action will not be in contravention of the provisions
hereof or of the Collateral Documents. Any such opinion will be full protection
to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance thereon.
SECTION 10.06 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.
On demand of the Trustee, Alderwoods forthwith will pay or
satisfactorily provide for all reasonable expenditures incurred by the Trustee
under this Indenture and all such sums will be a lien upon Collateral and will
be secured thereby.
51
SECTION 10.07 TRUSTEE'S DUTIES.
(a) Subject to Section 10.01 and the provisions of the
Collateral Documents, the Trustee will have power to enter into any agreement or
take any action required by the Collateral Documents pursuant to the terms
thereof and to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings, to the
extent permitted under the terms of the Collateral Documents, as it may deem
expedient to prevent any impairment of Collateral by any acts which may be
unlawful or in violation of the Collateral Documents or this Indenture,
including the power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain
the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental
enactment, rule, or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid or
if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would
impair the security interest provided for in Section 10.01 in contravention of
this Indenture or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of Five-Year
Notes issued hereunder or of the Trustee.
(b) The powers conferred upon the Trustee by this Article 10
are solely to protect the security interest provided for in Section 10.01 and
will not impose any duty upon the Trustee to exercise any such powers except as
provided in the last sentence of Section 10.03 and as otherwise expressly
provided in this Indenture. The Trustee will be under no duty to Alderwoods or
any Subsidiary Guarantor whatsoever to make or give any presentment, demand for
performance, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest, notice of
dishonor, or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral or to take
any steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties except as
expressly provided in this Indenture. The Trustee will not be liable to
Alderwoods or any Subsidiary Guarantor for failure to collect or realize upon
any or all Collateral, or for any delay in so doing, nor will the Trustee be
under any duty to Alderwoods or any Subsidiary Guarantor to take any action,
whatsoever with regard thereto. The Trustee has no duty to Alderwoods or to the
Holders to comply with any recording, filing, or other legal requirements
necessary to establish or maintain the validity, priority, or enforceability of,
or the Trustee's rights in or to, any Collateral.

incurs Indebtedness (other than the Exit Facility and other Indebtedness
existing on the date hereof (excluding the Two-Year Notes, Seven-Year Notes, and
Unsecured Convertible Subordinated Notes), any Refinancing thereof, and any
securitization transaction) the terms of which Alderwoods in good faith
determines to be materially more restrictive or burdensome to Alderwoods and its

entitled to the benefit of such more restrictive terms. In furtherance of the
foregoing, Alderwoods and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree to execute any and all
amendments or modifications of this Indenture to incorporate such more
restrictive terms for the benefit of the Holders.
ARTICLE 12
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES
SECTION 12.01 GUARANTEES.
Each Restricted Subsidiary of Alderwoods that is a Wholly Owned
Subsidiary organized under the laws of any state or commonwealth of the United
States (other than the Excluded Subsidiaries) hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees (in such capacity, a "SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR"), jointly and
severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a)
the full and punctual payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Five-Year Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by
redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of Alderwoods under
this Indenture and the Five-Year Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance
within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of Alderwoods under
this Indenture and the Five-Year Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter
collectively called the "OBLIGATIONS"). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees
that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without
55
notice or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor and that such Subsidiary
Guarantor will remain bound under this Article 12 notwithstanding any extension
or renewal of any Obligation.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment
from and protest to Alderwoods of any of the Obligations and also waives notice
of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any
default under the Five-Year Notes or the Obligations. The obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any
Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or
remedy against Alderwoods or any other Person under this Indenture, the
Five-Year Notes or any other agreement or otherwise, (b) any extension or
renewal of any thereof, (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of
any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Five-Year Notes or any
other agreement, (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the
Trustee for the Obligations or any of them, (e) the failure of any Holder or the
Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the
Obligations, or (f) except as set forth in Section 12.06, any change in the
ownership of such Subsidiary Guarantor.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee
herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due
(and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any
resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of
the Obligations.
Except as set forth in Sections 8.01, 8.02, 12.02 and 12.06, the
obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any
reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any
claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be
subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the
Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or
impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the
Five-Year Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any
thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the
performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or
delay to do any other act or thing that may or might in any manner or to any
extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as
a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest
on any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or
the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Alderwoods or otherwise.
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other
right that any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any
Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of Alderwoods to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Obligation when and as the
same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or
otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Obligation, each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the
Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the
Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (a) the unpaid amount of such Obligations,
(b) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations (but only to the extent not
prohibited by law) and (c) all other monetary Obligations of Alderwoods to the
Holders and the Trustee.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on the one hand,
and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the
Obligations Guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for
the purposes of such Subsidiary Guarantor's Subsidiary Guarantee herein,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the Obligations Guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the
event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in
Article 6, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this
Section.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Trustee or any
Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section.
56
SECTION 12.02 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.
Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Obligations Guaranteed
hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that
can be hereby Guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such
Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally.
SECTION 12.03 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
This Article 12 shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its
successors and assigns and shall enure to the benefit of the successors and
assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or
assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges
conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Five-Year Notes shall
automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all
subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.
SECTION 12.04 NO WAIVER.
Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the
Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 12 shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof
preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The
rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly
specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or
benefits that either may have under this Article 12 at law, in equity, by
statute or otherwise.
SECTION 12.05 MODIFICATION.
No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article
12, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom,
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on
any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to
any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances.
SECTION 12.06 RELEASE OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS.
Upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation
or merger) of a Subsidiary Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or
substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (in each case other
than a sale or disposition to Alderwoods or another Subsidiary Guarantor), in a
transaction permitted by this Indenture (including, without limitation, the
Restructuring Transactions), such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed released
from all obligations under this Article 12 without any further action required
on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. At the request and expense of
Xxxxxxxxxx, and upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release.
